    Dates are really wonderful until you get into date-time formats, time-zones and localization and formatted strings

      Just use this format: 41386.4926414352. You can't go wrong. ;)

      It was broke, so I fixed it.

              Is that a programming question? I don't know about you but the dates I have are quite enjoyable.

                                      That is rather unorthodox approach to dating. It may be a cliché, but why don't you try with something easier, like favorite movie? Instead of favorite date/time format?

                                        Previously working with SAS and Windows I had great(not) fun with dates as SAS starts its counting in 1960. So for every SAS data you had to apply a weighting to bring it into line with a Windows generated date. Why can't we just have a star date like Catpain[sic] Kirk has? Signing off star date: -309693.60594241496

                                          That's a greasy situation...

                                          If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                                          You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                                          Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein
